She looked up at Feng Changye, trying to let a trace of apology appear in her eyes. "I'm so sorry, Your Majesty. If this matter gets out, I'm afraid it will undermine the Emperor's wisdom and make him a laughing stock among the people..."
After saying this, she lowered her head again, pretending to be ready to die.
"I beg Your Majesty to depose me as the Empress and demote me to a commoner and exile me to Lingnan! My moral character is deplorable, my reputation is tarnished, and I feel unworthy to be your wife. Please, Your Majesty, do not show mercy to me out of consideration for the Zhu family's loyalty. Please depose me!"
Feng Changye didn't expect to hear this time-traveling girl say such words.
He looked at her in surprise!
Before, she seemed to be laughing and joking without thinking. Who would have thought that when faced with serious matters, she would be so sensible?
If it were other women, and they saw that their husbands not only did not protect them from disasters and sufferings, but also ruthlessly exposed their ugly deeds to the public, they would definitely resent their husbands for being so heartless and ungrateful!
However, the woman in front of him didn't blame him for being ruthless at all!
Not only is she sensible, she also understands him very well!
For him, she actually took the initiative to ask him to depose the queen!
What he has always wanted is such a caring and understanding person beside him...
Was this the reason why God had sent this woman to the Daning Dynasty? Did God send him a soulmate?
When Feng Changye was feeling moved by himself, he suddenly heard the conversation between the woman in front of him and the system in his heart!
His eyes suddenly changed!
[Host, you acted really well! ]
The system said this attentively, and even simulated the sound of applause, clapping crazily for Zhu Wuhuan!
Zhu Wuhuan still maintained his bowing posture and said to the system with a grin, "Who said I was acting? This time, I'm serious!"
Without waiting for the system to be confused, she continued speaking.
She sighed, "Look, I've been so brave that I've made the Empress Dowager faint. Later, her beloved youngest son, the Prince of Jin, will be imprisoned because of me. When she wakes up, won't she hate me to death?"
"I've returned to the Imperial Palace, the place where she's spent her entire life fighting. That's her home turf. How can I possibly be her opponent? If she were to target me, I'd probably die without even knowing how! In this situation, it's best to stay away from the capital."
[Another reason is that, through today's confrontation, I realized I might not be a match for the tyrant!]
"Look, I'm here trying to catch a cicada, but he's arranged for Ji Yunchang to take advantage of the situation and catch both me and the King of Jin in one fell swoop. He's such a master at playing tricks, how could I possibly outsmart him under his nose?"
So, at this time, we can't confront him head-on! We should avoid him and stay away from him!
So I'm taking this opportunity to ask him to depose the queen and send me to exile in Lingnan!
In the eyes of the ancients, Lingnan was a barbaric land plagued by miasma and lacking the wisdom of sages. However, we who have traveled through time know that it was the extremely wealthy Chaoshan, a coastal province and city!
"Once we reach Lingnan, we can leverage the experience of later generations to vigorously develop the economy. Then, we can go to the coast, build ships, develop the navy, and research gunpowder. Then, won't we be able to lead the navy to conquer the Daning Dynasty?"
【I thought about it for a long time and felt that this kind of development is what we should do! 】
What great things can we accomplish under the tyrant's watchful eye? Only when we leave his side can we truly shine, don't you agree?
When the system heard this, it immediately gave strong support!
[Host is right! As long as the host maintains a heart that will take down the tyrant, it doesn't matter where the host chooses as their home base! By the way, host, the system has a lot of information on shipbuilding and gunpowder. As long as the host actively completes tasks and earns points, they can exchange these information with the system! Then, with the system's help, the host will be able to build whatever they want!]
Having said that, it secretly whitewashed itself.
[The system is really not useless. It is omnipotent. It's just that you, the host, don't have the points to exchange with the system!]
Zhu Wuhuan was in high spirits now that he had thought about escaping. He didn't bother to pay attention to its little thoughts and said perfunctorily, "Well, you're not useless. Your Dali Pills are still quite useful."
"..." When Feng Changye heard the voice of this person, the touch of emotion in his heart and the joy of finding a confidant all disappeared in an instant!
His eyes turned cold as he looked at Zhu Wuhuan!
This damn woman!
He thought she was really thinking about him when she said those words just now, and he thought she was really that sensible!
It turned out that she said so much just to get herself out of trouble!
His feelings of being touched and happy just now were wasted!
He really shouldn't have any hope in such a heartless woman!
He gritted his teeth.
Haha, you want to leave him, but you don’t even consider whether he agrees or not!
He hasn't squeezed out all her value yet, so he won't agree to let her leave. She can't go anywhere in her life and can only be trapped by his side!
Thinking of this, Feng Changye took two steps forward.
"What crime has the Queen committed?"
He was also possessed by the spirit of acting in an instant and held the tips of Zhu Wuhuan's fingers.
Even if he wanted to act with her, he didn't want to have too much skin contact with her and he was very disgusted with her.
Zhu Wuhuan, who was excitedly waiting for the tyrant to depose, was dumbfounded when he heard these words!
She suddenly looked up at Feng Changye!
What did you say? What crime have you committed?
Brother, are you kidding me? Your wife has another man in her heart and is secretly meeting with another man. So many people have discovered it. Aren’t you ashamed?
It's your wife's fault that you, the emperor, feel ashamed!
As a tyrant, you should depose the queen. Do it now!
Feng Changye listened to her inner thoughts and resisted the urge to curl up the corners of his mouth.
He stared into her eyes and spoke with real emotion.
"I heard everything the Queen said to me in the garden expressing her loyalty. She went to see the Prince of Jin to test his ambitions for me, not to get entangled with him! I understand!"
"And now, for my sake, the Queen is so sensible and willing to make your past relationship with the Prince of Jin public. She would rather tarnish your own reputation than allow me to imprison the Prince of Jin as I wish. I am deeply moved by the Queen's loyalty and affection!"
"After the Prince of Jin is imprisoned, you, Queen, will be considered a meritorious person. I will then reward you generously. How could I abolish your position as Queen?"
He released Zhu Wuhuan's fingertips and said domineeringly, "After returning to the palace, I will reward the Queen well!"
He paused, then suddenly leaned closer to her and whispered deliberately in her ear.
"I wonder what the Queen wants? Gold, silver, jade, and deep-sea coral? Rouge, powder, silk, and satin? Or..."
He looked into her eyes meaningfully.
Then he whispered the following words in her ear in an ambiguous voice.
